What does Asurion Home+ cover?

Unlike a traditional external hard drive warranty, our Asurion Home+ protection plan offers peace of mind for around $1 per day. From sudden drops to coffee spills, we protect your external hard drive from the unexpected breakdown. Our plans cover the cost of expensive repairs or replacement parts, and if we can’t fix your external hard drive, we’ll send you a replacement or reimburse you. We also cover mechanical or electrical breakdowns caused by manufacturer defects, power-surge damage, normal wear and tear, dust, heat, and humidity.

Why get Asurion Home+ coverage over an external hard drive warranty?

An external hard drive warranty can offer peace of mind, but only until the end of its term.

You’ll also gain access to our experts, who can answer questions about anything from setting up a wireless printer to troubleshooting your hard drive. Call or chat with experts 24/7, or stop by one of your local uBreakiFix® by Asurion locations for select in-store services for your external hard drive at no additional cost. Asurion Home+ also includes an unlimited number of claims up to the aggregate claim limit. Start as many as you need for your external hard drive, and we will cover up to $2,000 per claim and up to $5,000 in a 12-month period. It only takes a few minutes, whether you submit one over the phone or online at www.asurion.com/homeplus/. There is a service fee per approved claim.

An external hard drive warranty expires, Asurion Home+ coverage lasts

An individual external hard drive warranty can only protect one device. Asurion Home+ doesn’t just protect external hard drives—it protects an unlimited number of eligible devices in your home, regardless of the brand or when and where you purchased them. Plus there’s no limit to how many products you can include in your plan, and we even cover future purchases.

Unlike other protection plans that require tons of paperwork when you need to start a claim, we make the process easy—no receipts or registration forms required, no expiration dates, and no surprises. If you need help, just contact our experts 24/7 online or at (844) 529-2692.

Fast and easy repairs without an external hard drive warranty

External hard drives break down, and if yours isn't covered by the original external hard drive warranty, you may be stuck paying expensive repair costs. With Asurion Home+, you get quick and affordable external hard drive repairs at any of our 700+ uBreakiFix® by Asurion stores nationwide.

We’ll have your device working again in days, not weeks, and in some cases, our experts can fix your external hard drive as soon as the same day.

Does Asurion Home+ cost more than an external hard drive warranty?

The gadgets we love aren’t cheap, especially external hard drives. And if you include the cost of a single external hard drive warranty and the warranties for other tech, like laptops, tablets, and game consoles, it can add up fast. It’s more convenient—and cost effective—to cover all of them under one protection plan. That’s why Asurion Home+ offers an affordable solution. For around $1 per day, we’ll cover nearly all the tech in your home under one simple plan. It’s a small price to help keep your external hard drive protected.

Is an external hard drive warranty worth it?

The average U.S. household spends over $11,000 on technology.* Instead of buying an external hard drive warranty that will only cover your external hard drive, consider Asurion Home+, which will cover all eligible devices in your home—even the devices you haven’t bought yet. Your external hard drive will be covered against failures due to mechanical and electrical breakdown, normal wear and tear, dust, heat, and humidity, and power-surge failures. An external hard drive warranty can’t offer that level of protection. Even if you have a homeowner’s or renter’s policy, it may still only provide basic protection against fire and other catastrophes.

With Asurion Home+, you get affordable coverage for the most common breakdowns on all your favorite home tech. It’s the last warranty you’ll ever need.
